The city Constantine Cavafy Voice Katerina Wilhelmina

You said, "I will go to another land, I will go to another sea.
Another city will be found, better than this.
Every effort of mine is condemned by fate;
and my heart is - like a corpse - buried.
How long in this wasteland will my mind remain.
Wherever I turn my eyes, wherever I may look
I see the black ruins of my life here,
where I spent so many years, and ruined and wasted."
New lands you will not find, you will not find other seas.
The city will follow you.You will roam the same
streets.And you wil age in the same neighbourhoods;
in these same houses you will grow gray.
Always you will arrive in this city. To another land - do not hope -
there is no ship for you, there is no road.
As you have ruined your life here
in this little corner, you have destroyed it in the whole world.

Is it you who wrote the poem ? Even if English isn't my first tongue, I found it very beautiful and sad in the choice of words. It's really beautiful. And your voice when you read it fits perfectly <3
